ACCLAIMED SOLO PERFORMANC­ES:

-

AWARD-WINNING Wessel Pretorius and Antoinette Kellerman bring acclaimed solo performanc­es to the Baxter’s Flipside stage in late October and early November.

Pretorius’s satirical drama, Die Ontelbare 48, runs October 24 to 29.

Kellerman returns to the Flipside from November 3 to 12 with As Die Broek Pas, directed by Marthinus Basson, translated by Willem Anker from German playwright Manfred Karge’s Jacke wie Hose. The production has received awards and rave reviews. It explores the life of a woman who, during Germany’s depression of the 1930s, disguises herself as a man to take over her dead husband’s factory job.

Her choice to masquerade as a man not only gives her insight into being a woman but leaves her with questions about society and the traumatic era in which she is caught up.

As Die Broek Pas runs from November 3 to 12 at 8pm, plus 3pm performanc­es on November 5 and 12.
